摘要：Agile software development promotes constant learning from experience. Consequently, the feedback of project team members helps to improve and adapt to new future challenges. A reflection workshop is one of the methods that aim to introduce this concept. However, there still exists the question of how to handle reflection results so that the gathered feedback is addressed. In this paper we present our approach, called RefGoal. It aims to treat the results of reflection workshops in a systematic manner. The core of our idea is to align these results with the goals of the organization in which the project is being run. Thereafter, we report the results of our exploratory case study. Its goal was to preliminarily evaluate feasibility of the proposed idea in the context of three software development teams working on tailor-made web applications. The results show that the cost of using RefGoal for reflection workshops is about the same as that of a typical workshop (at max. 1.5 h), and that there exists a considerable number of insights that lead to valuable updates of team goals. Based on the results, we also uncovered some open questions, regarding handling reflection workshop results, which require addressing in the near future.
